Favorite for handmade chocolates, handsdown winner for me is Joël Durand in St. Rémy.
Favorite chocolate shops are Puyricard (France) and Galler (Belgium). Neuhaus is still a sentimental favorite too.
Some of the most interesting because of the way it's made (from ancient recipes
) is the chocolate from the Antica Dolceria Bonajuto in Modica, Sicily.
When Pierre Marcolini first started, I though his chocolates were superb, but no longer. They're now factory made and some taste very strange... but I guess he had to pay for that building in the Sablon he moved to, so he went way commercial.
